A Court of Thorns and Roses 10/10

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Mass

Book 1: 10/10, Book 2: 10/10, Book 3: released in May 2017

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a fantasy trilogy following a girl named Feyre who, after killing a wolf who was in fact Fairie, is taken to the world of the Farie's. As she is forced to live with the temperamental High Lord of the Spring Court, Tamlin, she starts to see a different side of him and become wrapped in this world she has become a part of. I can't say anythin more without giving away the events of the novel.

Recently I stumbled into the world of ACOTOR after a fellow book lover recommended me the series. I was skeptical, but by god I shouldn't of been. These two books (the third book comes out in 2017) were so well written, with the story line and characters developing seamlessly and in a way that allows you to revel in the world that Feyre has become apart of. Mass has a stunning writing style and the world that she has created so vividly seems so real in my mind. I cannot recommend this series enough. One of the few books that will keep you reading all night and desperate for more. If you are ever looking for an amazing book that intertwines adventure, fantasy and love, this is your novel! My stomach gets butterflies just thinking about the book. READ IT.  Click here to see A Court of Thorns and Roses Trilogy on Goodreads

Everyday 6/10

Everyday by David Levithan

6/10  

This book is about 'A', a human soul who wakes in a different body every day. After of sixteen years of waking up in a different body with the age of the host corresponding with the age of A, one day A wakes up in the body of Justin. However, after meeting Justin's girlfriend Rhiannon, a deep connection is formed between with this girl. However, unlike every other day, A wants nothing more than to stay with this amazing girl. As the novel progresses, you see the struggle of desire versus practicality, hope versus promise, witnessing how loneliness and a lack of belonging strengthens the desire for love in individuals.

Altogether, this book was a fascinating read. It was interesting to see glimpses into peoples lives and the perspectives of people who are boys, girls, have disabilities, gay, depressed, etc. Levithan has accurately portrayed a various array of sixteen year-old's- no easy feat- whilst simultaneously not going over the top with stereotypical teenage mindsets. However, the novel looses its points in the love story between this lonely soul 'A', and everyday girl Rhiannon. To me, the romance felt forced and unreal. 'A' just happened to do something special with someone and it was instantly attached, it was the stereotypical 'love at first sight' kind of notion which does not appeal to me. At all. So, while this book is interesting and an original concept, I wouldn't recommend as it dragged on and did not leave me feeling satisfied. Click here to see Everyday on goodreads
